So - if you're okay paying the higher fare, get it issued anywhere you want (the RTW desk should be able to do it and charge you the US rate etc.)... If you want the ICN fare you'll need to use the AA GSA in ICN or a travel agent based in ICN. The GSA requires you to be present in person to provide payment (even via Credit card) - there is a travel agent that has been used somewhat successfully - if you want I'll PM you their contact detail. I have not used them yet - so it's at your own risk.
Good luck.
The friendly travel agent in ICN told me that they no longer accept credit card payments as they have had fraud issues which they no longer want to deal with. Also the manager is a bit flaky, and can put you on an internal "do not sell to" list if you don't promptly reply with your CC details. They will accept wire transfers, but then you have limited protection in case of the ticket not being issued.
I found it much easier to deal directly with the AA RTW desk and then have my Canadian travel agent issue the ticket as he speaks english, is on email/msn/BB messenger, and can process credit cards very easily.
